Andy Carroll:

If Reyes’ career demise has been a misfortune, then to tell that Andy Carroll’s career has been a disaster would be an understatement to suffice. Carroll has been a product of Newcastle United’s academy and was loaned to Preston North End for some game time in the year of 2007. His career picked up after a loan move at Preston and Carroll carved himself as a first team option for the Magpies. He had an incredible season with Newcastle and was targeted by a series of English clubs.

Liverpool made a swift move to capture Andy Carroll and also signed Luis Suarez on the same day after Fernando Torres’ big money move to Chelsea. Well, the transfer move seemed to be a debacle for both Carroll and Torres but Suarez thrived at Liverpool and earned himself a move to Barcelona. Speaking about Carroll he has spent a year out on loan at West Ham United and eventually seeked a permanent transfer to the London club. Liverpool could only recoup a bare minimum 15 million euros out of the 40 million euros they forked out on the English forward.
